Akuzura Base, Necragakure.

Pain walks up to Naruto "Naruto, in order for us to restore the Uzumaki clan, we must gather our remaining members and then grow our population from there."

"Okay, so first we need our members, besides you and me, I can only think of one more."

"Okay who?"

"Karin Uzumaki, she's part of Sasuke's team."

"Karin, if she's under Sasuke's guard then she won't be easy to persuade."

"Konan, Itachi, Kisame and I will go to persuade Karin."

"What should the rest of us do?" Naruto asked.

"You Naruto should think about what you are going to do about Konoha, Danzo has taken over so it will be impossible to become a working trade partner unless Danzo is overthrown."

"Think about it." Pain leaves.

"Danzo, that bastard." Naruto says in a menacing voice.

XXXXXx

Naruto walks up "Sidra?"

"Yes, Naruto?"

"Danzo took over the village, I'm not sure what to do now."

"It's fine Naruto, look I have a proposition, I want to burn Konoha down to the ground, let the city crumble to pieces."

"Why?!" Naruto said in shock, but he then thought, he should have expected it.

"The Uchiha, Hyuga, and the Leaf itself, we all hold grudges against it, you do too, you just don't deal with it."

"But Sidra, I don't want, no I can't betray the leaf."

"Even though they betrayed you?"

"Yeah."

"At the least we'll have to defeat Danzo in order to retake Konoha."

"Yes, that I'll agree on."

"Look here, we are going to burn down Konoha only the bad parts, Danzo took over Konoha, almost all your friends are captured, and they think you're dead, but they couldn't care less."

Naruto was really angry now, he wanted to disbelieve, but Sidra was stating the truth.

"Fine, let Konoha burn!" Naruto said with a new voice, this voice wasn't happy like he usually was, this voice had one thing Naruto didn't normally have, this was the voice of revenge.

Hinata and Hikari are training in a room when Neji comes in.

"Brother Neji." Hinata says.

"Save the title Hinata, we're getting out of here." Neji held on the Hinata's arm and dragged her out of the room, part way Hikari stopped him.

"Where are you going Neji?" She asked.

"Me and Hinata are leaving this wrenched clan."

"Brother why?" Hinata asked.

"Come on Hinata this organization will crush the Hyuga clan in the process of the restoration of the Uzumaki clan, we can't stay now let's go."

"No Neji." Hinata said.

"What?" Neji questioned whether or not Hinata said that or not.

"I said no."

"I'm not leaving, for Naruto's sake, the village has been so mean to him or these years, but I will stay with him, I can't go back to that village."

Hikari adds on "Along with that Danzo has taken the village over, you won't be safe going back now."

Neji refused to see the dangers "I don't care, I won't turn my back on the Hyuga clan."

"Neji from what I know of you, you want the Hyuga clan gone." Hikari said.

"That grudge is past." Neji replied.

"Well grudges aren't past for me."

"Me and Hinata have been discussing, when we take Konoha and Hinata becomes the new head of the Hyuga, Hinata will reestablish the curse mark rule, it will still be used to seal the Byakugan, however the main and side branches will be served as equals and no conflict will be made."

"But Hanabi is the new head of the Hyuga." Neji said.

"No, Hinata will be because Konoha will also be ours, they will have no choice."

"That's using force to do that, isn't that what you're trying the prevent?"

"ITS THE HYUGA THAT USE FORCE!" Hikari yelled out her rage spiking.

"The Hyuga have restrained our family for years and no one has done anything about it because of the curse mark, but we will we will change the way of the Hyuga."

"No you shall not, I will stop you." Neji said.

Suddenly Neji throws his palm at Hikari, but Hikari jumps behind Neji dodging the attack.

'I can't beat them here, I'm outnumbered.' Neji thought.

Neji runs out the door heading towards the exit.

"I knew it Neji is to loyal to see things our way." Hikari said.

"I will get him the next time." Hikari continued.

"No, I will." Hinata interrupts.

"What, you can't be serious."

"I am, Neji and I have never been friends, though I love him I will fight for Naruto and the side branch family of the Hyuga, even if it means leaving my own family, but with Naruto I can have a new one."

"Well said Hinata, I will leave Neji to you, but Hiashi is mine, I hope you understand I can't let the murder of my father go unpunished."

Hinata wasn't sure if she should have her father killed, but Hikari was right her father was responsible for his brother, Neji and Hikari's father's death.

"Okay I will yet you take father." Hinata said in a voice showing she was serious about this.

Neji ran through the halls and sneaked out due to the lack of guard around and that several members were out on missions.

"I must warn the Hyuga about Hikari." He paused to look back.

"And Hinata." Neji throws his Akuzura cloak into his palm strike that tore the cloak in half a clean cut and sharp.

Neji leaves for Konoha.

Hidden Rain Village Outskirts.

Pain, Konan, Kisame and Itachi were in a stand-off with Suigetsu, Karin, Jugo and Sasuke.

"Well now I didn't think my look would be over so fast, and now my time for revenge is here." Sasuke said looking at Itachi and only Itachi.

"Do you have enough hate, Sasuke?" Itachi says.

"I got the Mangekyou Sharingan, that's enough proof."

"Very well, let me handle this alone, and don't get in the way." Itachi said to the other 3 who stepped back.

Sasuke gestured to his team the same, they stepped back as well.

Sasuke and Itachi came at each other with katana against kunai they were strong and sharp each digging into the other like they were about to break.

"You will die today." Sasuke said in his anger pulsing.

"Very well, but can you make me." Itachi said calmly.

Itachi jumps back and unleashes 5 kunai from his right hand directly as Sasuke.

Sasuke spins his katana and blocks all 5 sending them into the ground like they were mere pebbles.

"Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu!" Both Uchiha call out this attack and they collide head on creating an explosion, everyone there covered themselves from the dust and smoke except Pain who looked on analyzing who was stronger.

Suddenly Sasuke had his katana in Itachi's chest it was buried deep and went right through clean and clear.

"Ah, uh." Everyone watching gasps as the battle maybe over sooner then expected.

Pain simply kept his glare.

"Now Itachi tell me why did you kill our clan, and why did you spare me, tell me the truth and not some lie like before."

"You really want to know?"

"The pain in your chest won't stop until you do." Sasuke shakes the katana around letting it sink in.

"Very well then, it was a time of peace until that day when Danzo came to me." Itachi said.

"Huh?"

FLASHBACK

Itachi talked through the flashback "Back when I was younger and you were born, the nine-tails attacked the village."

"It was sealed away in Naruto by the 4th Hokage, but then."

"The people of the leaf suspected the Uchiha were behind the attack due to the Sharingan's ability to control Tailed Beasts."

"The Uchiha were treated with disrespect so then the Uchiha decided to rebel, they planned a coup d'eat or what would be called a hostile takeover."

"By the third Hokage's orders I was ordered to be a double agent, to spy on the Uchiha."

"The third was hoping to have a peace treaty with the Uchiha, but this was when Danzo came up to me."

Hokage's office, about 10 years ago.

"What? No!" Itachi in the past yelled to Danzo.

"You have to, there is no way that the Uchiha will come to peace with us, therefore this must be done." Danzo responded.

"Murder of the clan, no." Itachi said back.

"You must."

"I won't, the third has a plan."

Danzo scoffed at this idea, "The third is too foolish to see that it won't work."

"Now go do this."

"But my entire family and clan, my parents and brother."

"Tell me Itachi, do you care for your brother?"

"Of course."

"Well then there are only 2 outcomes, the Uchiha live and then try overthrow us, where they will all be killed in the process, you and your brother or they all perish today, but you and your brother are allowed to live."

"Ugh." Itachi thought about this for some time, then sucked in the feelings to finally agree to it.

XXXXXX

As Itachi walked out a man with a spirally mask appeared in front of him.

"Who are you?" Itachi asked.

"Someone to help, I will assist you in your plan, if you help me."

"What is that?"

"Destroying the leaf."

Itachi only was to be surprised, but he was mad now "Who are you?"

"If you help me take revenge on the Uchiha for betraying me, I will spare the village though."

Itachi was in total shock, there was only one Uchiha who could say that, "Then you are, Madara Uchiha." Itachi realizing the only one with that history.

Itachi thought long and hard about it, "I will, just keep up your end of the promise."

END OF FLASHBACK

"So Sasuke is that enough." Itachi said, he was no longer in the blade, it was another genjutsu.

"Grr, urgh!" Sasuke roared out in pain.

Sasuke held his hands on his head like he had a major headache, "Konoha, I will destroy it, let it burn down."

"No Sasuke." Sasuke was in shock by his brother now.

"If you destroy Konoha your future is decided, you will be hunted and killed later, I cannot allow that, not after I killed the whole clan just to protect you."

Sasuke charged at Itachi, but this wasn't an attack, Sasuke hugged his brother, Itachi was waiting for this for a long time. "Brother..."

"On to other business." Pain said.

"Karin Uzumaki, am I correct?"

"Yes."

"We need you, you see we are going to restore the Uzumaki clan and we need your help."

"Restore my clan, right." Karin didn't believe it.

"It's no lie, we already are gathering our members from around the globe, we already have a military force of the tailed beasts, the Akatsuki, the Hidden Rain, the Land of Iron, the Hidden Shadow, you merely add more."

"Like what?"

"First you shall be one of the founders of the newest branches of the clan, you will have protection and guard for yourself and anyone else you desire, there are more benefits down the road."

"It sounds good."

"And you, Suigetsu Hozuki, you are to ally the Hidden Mist's seven swordsmen with us to further broaden our force."

"Sounds good, but you already have that lug with ya." Suigetsu gestured out Kisame.

"We need as much force as possible."

"Fine, I'll do it."

"Good we are set we shall leave now."

Pain, Konan, and Kisame leave.

"Itachi are you coming?" Kisame said to his partner.

"I will be there in time." Itachi responded.

"Sasuke, join us, we will reincarnate the Uchiha as well as the Uzumaki clan."

"Hmm, the Uchiha clan, okay, brother."

Well that's over with. So then Sasuke got the truth out of Itachi.
